400mm 2.8 IS wide open, 2x, BB off-camera fill-flash, ISO 160, cropped from horizontal, shoot on tripod from boat

A while back we were renting a boat to spend a morning on one of the lakes in the lake area one hour in the North of Berlin. Funny (yellowish) light that day in the transition from an overcast morning into a wonderful September day.
This is a White-tailed Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), sitting in one of the trees above the water line watching us closely. To our American friends: This is a free bird in the wild. Many if not all Eagles in Central Europe have rings on their feet and being monitored.

C&C welcome, thanks for looking ..

Hello Sven, very nice picture!

Hallo Sven, tolle Aufnahme. Insbesondere der Blick ist genial!

Thanks guys! Like I said, the morning colors were quite amazing that day. I'll try to go back this year, even if the number of keepers was quite low from that trip ..
